    Where to get custom bumper?

    My rig is 10,000 lbs, can I get away with a 12k winch, or do I need to stick with min. 16k? The bumper (movebumper.com) I am looking at is advised to stick with 12k max, although it hasn't been tested. I don't expect to get bogged too deep in mud or snow and certainly will not get high centered...

    E350 Chinook Build

    On my Chinook I am running 2 6v, battery box too small for 4 plus weight would be issue. Good luck getting the 4 inside, I would have got 4 if reconfiguaring everything wasn't a pain. I may try to insulate battery box for this winter, not sure how much it will help though.

    Where to get custom bumper?

    Not evenclose....haha Hopefully, I will not. The rig is too big and heavy to stretch it capabilities on east coast. Winch is really extra-extra precaution, bumper is for looks and to get robust tow points if I do need help. Yes, actually been there. Ujoint is steel but based on comments here I...

    Australian and British bloggers arrested in Iran

    So your defense of not having facts or report is saying “google hides more than they show”....isn’t this the grade school equivalent of “the dog ate my homework”? Saying the LIBOR issue is too complicated for a 10,000 limit post is a straw man fallacy and also is deflecting your argument by...

    Australian and British bloggers arrested in Iran

    What? 1/3 of US population was pushed into poverty over LIBOR rigging and I missed it! How did LIBOR push those into poverty, and with interest rates now going to floor are those people made whole. I think reading any news especially from biased source needs to read critically.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I think you are correct. I think most cars have solid engines and drivetrains but computer compexity is achilles heel in new vehicles. In 2013 when I bought my JCG Overland, I paid $2400 for Mopar lifetime warranty, not because of mechanical concern but to cover the computer/navionics/...

    Pretty interesting older (2015) article on why writer thinks people line up to buy Rovers even with reliability issues.....https://jalopnik.com/if-range-rovers-are-so-unreliable-why-do-people-still-1728727599 Not sure if totally true but I think he has a point.

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    I can't speak to Rovers, but on my WK2 Grand Cherokee I have metal plating from front skid plate all the way to rear including rocker guards from Mopar, Rocky Road Outfitters and Chief Products, there is no additional road noise and weight impact on fuel has been neglible. With a full tank, 24...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    On a side note.....several years ago aftermarket companies came out with brand new steel bodies of 60’s muscle cars. At the time people were worried about their values of original cars. The jury has spoken and the new bodies did nothing to value of existing cars. As a matter of fact early...
